It depends on what you are looking for.
Look at the classics, some can be a bit heavy. But there is generally a reason they are considered classic stories.

We know something is out there; galaxies are rotating far too quickly for our understanding of gravity to be correct. This is based on the observable matter.
For the galaxies to be rotating at the speeds we observe, we need approx 5 times the matter we see. So it is not like we have missed 10 - 20% of the matter that interacts with electromagnetic radiation, we would have had to have missed an extra 500%
As someone else pointed out, MOND is the next most promising candidate, but it has major issues even explaining what we see. Which is why it hasn’t received widespread acceptance.
I don’t have an answer; I have a few ideas. It maybe that something MOND adjacent is the answer; i.e. on the largest scales spacetime “relaxes” more when there is nothing pulling on it. So near galaxies and clusters spacetime is under more stress, this stress could equate to spacetime curving more on galaxy sized scales. But on the small scales we work on the extra stress will be almost invisible.
But as for us figuring out what “dark” matter is in your lifetime, unless you are already in your 80’s; I think there is a very good chance. The only thing we know for sure about dark matter, is that it interacts with gravity (spacetime). We are building some pretty epic gravitational wave detectors, bringing the detection threshold lower.
Legend!
I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.
This but realistic.
Swap the order of the cutlery draw, put the spoons where the knives are supposed to be. Be the chaos in the world that you want to see.
As someone with a 5yo.
Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.
As someone else mentioned, don’t baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)
My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don’t use instructions.
Cactus Outdoor.
I had the original pack now called Vacuole, used it for a long time 10 or so years, lost it one time when moving houses. My boys have one each for school now, I expect them to last for the duration.
I have two pairs of supertrousers and two pairs of hangdog shorts, all have lasted 6 years so far, daily use in summer / winter for the shorts / trousers.
The stuff made in the Christchurch factory is epic.
Came to say this exact thing.
FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.
Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.
This list looks very interesting, I’ll have to check them out, Completely Arbortrary really appeals.
Edit: I listened to the first two fall of civilizations, it is really good. Thanks for the recommendation.
Bernard Hickey is pretty good. Enjoy.
Went to a steak and ale bar, asked for a medium rare and my partner asked for a medium.
Mine came out blue and hers was rare…I was like wow these are undercooked, sent them back…
They literally just microwaved the plate, salad and all…
Never went back, told a bunch of people to avoid the place.
I really like the idea of the bot.
If the source was independent; and could be trusted. It would be a great tool; the display could be a lot better but the idea is sound.
As others have pointed out, the source is a black box that may or may not be biased itself.
Nuclear Fusion and “net zero emissions” doesn’t really make sense.
What I think you are trying to say is that fusion is nearing the point where net energy is possible (that is getting more energy out then the amount of energy put in to create the reactions in the first place). Fusion is not practically close yet, but there are tantalizing hints that we are close.
See this from 2022; the national ignition facility produced more energy that was impacted on the target (2MJ in 3MJ out), but this doesn’t take into account the huge inefficiencies in the laser generators to produce that 2MJ laser pulse.
There are a bunch of fusion experiments that are hitting massive temperatures (120 - 150MK) which is starting to get into the range where practical fusion could occur, the center of the sun is approx 15MK but also has massive gravity to encourage fusion.
So fusion is still a decade away at least, but we understand the science much more completely now. We know the problems (well a bunch of them) and it is mostly now a very difficult engineering problem rather a problem of understanding the science.
I fixed this, tell the grandmother, I’ll only send the pictures etc via signal.
Set it up for her, put it on the home screen.
